Introduction to Avro Serializer or Schema Registry

Schema Registry offers advanced schema management capabilities for Apache Kafka topics for Avro type formats.

Schema Registry provides a centralized REST API for storing, retrieving, and managing Apache Avro schema versions associated with specific topics. Schema Registry empowers users with enhanced control and flexibility over their schema management workflow, simplifies data exchange, and promotes efficient data utilization within Kafka-based applications. To take advantage of schema linking in the Avro schema, use Confluent Platform version 6.1.1 or later.

You can use the Avro serializer to perform the following tasks:

Assign and store Avro schemas to topics: You can explicitly register Avro schema definitions with specific topics to eliminate the ambiguity and ensures data consistency within the ecosystem.
Perform read-write operations using the Schema Registry service: Both producers and consumers can leverage the Schema Registry service to seamlessly read and write data to topics based on their associated Avro schema.
Automatically retrieve the latest schema version: You are provided with the latest version of the Avro schema linked to a topic to ensure compatibility and prevent data corruption.
